Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

Outdoor space

The manager's close links with a nearby school has resulted in the children being able to access the school field. This helps staff to support children's knowledge of nature and helps children who learn best outdoors. Pre-school children complete a daily risk assessment of the outdoor area, using litter pickers and considering items that might hurt them or others, developing a responsible attitude to safety.
